ive recently acquired a George Rogers baby grand piano and estimate the build date around 1928-9, serial #38996. In reasonably good aesthetic appearance and crisp note. There is also a number 1550 printed before this and wondered what it relates to? as I haven't found any information on it. please advise.

Welcome to the forum.
The serial number and date is correct & matching according to my book, but other numbers are often a mystery to everyone, and don't always relate to anything. They may be a stock or parts number, unique to the Rogers factory workers back in those days, and sometimes used as a reference when building the piano like a jigsaw from different parts in different parts of the factory..... so I wouldn't be concerned and best to ignore the numbers 1550.
